Hi,

I am an open-source developer and was a PhD candidate in Artificial
Intelligence in USC Electrical Engineering Department and left the program
this year. My open-source is a MUD game that I distribute under BSD license
at http://anatoliamud.sourceforge.net.

As you all know that "RequiredAuthentications" configuration in Commercial
SSH equivalent has not been implemented for OpenSSH yet, and there's even a
note in auth2.c saying: "/* XXX todo: check if multiple auth methods are
needed */". 

I am currently writing/building my own open-ssh server into my MUD game and
I have gotten quite familiar with the OpenSSH code. I was wondering if I can
write the code piece for the "RequiredAuthentications" server option. In
addition if you want, I can re-arrange the server configuration options so
that it will use "AllowedAuthentications" instead of having separate
PasswordAuthentication, PubkeyAuthentication, etc.
